Pickles served at a Chinese restaurant – trying to figure out where to get the recipe?

Lauren H: Pickles served at a Chinese restaurant – trying to figure out where to get the recipe?
I went to a Chinese restaurant recently that served (like other restaurants serve bread) pickles along with a dish of crispy wafer-like things. The pickles looked just like regular dill chips but had little red flakes in the mix. I should have asked what they were at the restaurant but I didn’t, and I’ve googled the heck out of it with nothing that matches.

CHINESE COLD GINGER CUCUMBERS:

Ingredients:

2 large green cucumbers
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon grated green ginger
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons white sugar

Directions:

Wash and peel cucumbers. Score each cucumber from end to end using the tines of a fork, so that each cucumber has ridges running down it. Slice cucumbers into thin rounds, and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt, mix through. Let stand for half an hour. While cucumber is standing, combine vinegar, sugar, crushed red chili flakes and green ginger in a cup. Mix well. When cucumber has stood for half an hour, drain excess liquid. Pour vinegar mixture over, stir through. Chill before serving.
